Motorola has had a partnership with Starfish for some time. They took a stake in Starfish last year. They are interested in the mobile devices world that Starfish has been preparing for. General Magic is part of it. I saw an analyst report on first call that said Motorola would embed Starfish's truesync technology in a new class of mobile devices. They mentioned cell phone. They went on to say that the new devices would likely be able to sync through services such as General magic's Portico. I'm pretty optimistic as Starfish is a General Magic partner. Seems Motorola will make great Portico cell phones :^)

Mark, I haven't heard from you on my last post to you. Do you think these developments are of no interest? I think it is very logical and obvious that MSFT shows interest in a desktop based, visual intelligent agent since most of MSFT's softwares are desktop based. Couldn't it be to that 3D Planet's agent will land into MS Outlook or where ever instead of GMGC's. Could it be that both can co-live? I am trying to find out, and some of you are much more knowledgeable than myself. That's why I would very much appreciate some discussion here on this issue. Thanks again in advance. Best wishes, Frank
